Valerie Cooksley, RN, a leading expert on alternative healing, has written an excellent book entitled Seaweed-Nature’s Secret to Balancing Your Metabolism, Fighting Disease, and Revitalizing Body and Soul. She addresses these ailments and more: Cancer and tumors, radiation toxicity and chemotherapy, viral infections, thyroid imbalance, cellulite, arthritis, constipation, gout, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, kidney and liver disorders, osteoporosis, prostate disease, mineral deficiencies, skin disorders and inflammation. There are good recipes for health and nutrition. If I had to have only one seaweed book on my shelf, this is the book I would have.
